Landa Branch Library is reopening Thursday after more than three months of renovation work, San Antonio Public Library officials said.

The facility at 233 Bushnell Ave. had been closed since June 5 for improvements to the historic building, including a complete exterior restoration, new interior furniture and paint and improvements to realign public service areas for better customer service.

“This project will ensure that the beautiful Landa Branch Library remains an iconic part of the San Antonio Public Library system for years to come,” the city library said in a release.

Funding in the amount of $815,000 was allocated from the city’s fiscal 2016 and 2017 budgets for the project, in addition to $10,000 in private donations.

Library officials will celebrate the improvements and the library’s 70th anniversary with a family-friendly celebration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 14.
